After opening the year with an ERA north of 6.00, Soria has allowed one run in his last 14.0 innings pitched. Yeah, that’s getting the job done. The recent run of success, including a clean seventh inning Monday night with one strikeout, has allowed Soria to run his season ERA to a respectable 3.33 with a 7.8 K/9.

Soria has now reclaimed the seventh inning slot for the KC Royals famed three-headed bullpen monster. That’s a good thing with reliever Danny Duffy moving into the starting rotation.

Is it any wonder that the Kansas City Royals have won four straight games due to post sixth-inning rallies over their opponents? A big part of #RoyalsDevilMagic is the bullpen’s ability to hold the other offense in place.
